It's time to mask back up whether you're fully vaccinated or not!
. Coronavirus infections are four times higher now than they were at the beginning of the month, going from 13,000 cases per day to more than 54,000 now, according to"Nobody wants to go backward, but you have to deal with the facts on the ground, and the facts on the ground are that it's a pretty scary time, and there are a lot of vulnerable people," Robert Wachter, chairman of the department of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco told the outlet.
Public health experts have urged the CDC to take more aggressive action with its mask policy for weeks, arguing that vaccinated people should continue to wear masks indoors as the country sees another wave of cases."This is the low season. It shouldn't be spreading as fast during summer," Ali Mokdad, who tracks coronavirus trends at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.
Some states and federal agencies put in place new restrictions ahead of the CDC's Tuesday guidance. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on Monday announced it would require doctors and other medical staff to get vaccinated, making it the first federal agency to do so,. California Gov. Gavin Newsom also announced on Monday that starting in August, healthcare workers and state employees would be required to show proof of vaccination, or otherwise get tested for COVID on a weekly basis.
